    what harm comes from what he did. Still waiting for someone to tell me that.
  2. Mike Sixel
    the thought that violence is the answer to a problem that doesn't actually exist is a huge problem in the world. Huge. I weep that anyone thinks this is a good idea. UFC, boxing, MA.....those are professional fights. That's their purpose. How is that the same thing at all?

    I don't get how baseball is a child's game in the first place. That sounds like some kind of romantic statement that only a few really believe if they think about it. It is a profession, a really hard profession.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Narrative! Young punks! Ruining the integrity of the game!

    Is this the A's first 90 loss season under Beane, not that I want this to turn into another bash / praise Beane thread.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I am not annoyed with the immediate reaction, though I think that is silly. But, supposedly smart, rational people, are calling for him to be thrown at on purpose. Mostly, I shake my head at the DE that does that, and am bemused at his cluelessness.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I think he is still a nice 4/5 starter in the AL. I would not have signed him the second time, and it wasn't worth it, but I don't know that he's the reason they won't make the playoffs this year. I just think there are other, younger cheaper, options. I think his reaction to possibly moving to the bullpen was not unexpected, but still disappointing. I actually think he has more years left as a RP than as a SP. I wish him well.

    Easy to say, until someone gets a broken wrist by a thrown ball. The ones making too big of a deal of it are the ones that think he did something wrong, and that the other team should respond with violence. yes, someone who flipped a bat should be attacked with violence.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    All of them? Being undefeated right now would be cool.....

    I am interested in hearing from the catching prospects, both about their games and about the pitchers they have caught. Is it hard to help guys prep when you've not worked with them before? What's a day like when they aren't catching? And the typical stuff about their progress. Mostly, ahead of time, I want to thank the Twins and the players for interacting with us through this site.
  11. Mike Sixel
    You have any evidence that getting mad at the other team actually leads to wins?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Maybe everyone should lighten up, and not even think that this is showing anyone up.......explain who was hurt by this action, and how. The only hurt people are those that have decided that this should hurt them. It literally causes zero harm to flip your bat, none. Nada. Nil. Explain what intrinsic harm was done to anyone, and I might listen.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    A: Not even close to the same thing. If my coworker celebrated his better presentation by high fiving someone, whatever. I might be annoyed for like 5 seconds. B: I don't react to things that "upset" me with violence.
  14. Mike Sixel
    this, 100% this. Who cares? It is only an insult if you decide to allow yourself to be bothered......so childish. It literally hurts no one to celebrate a HR.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think that poster was me, and I clearly stated it turned out to be a good non-trade for the Twins.....even though I thought Tulo would be better than Esco next year and the year after.
  16. Mike Sixel
    the Cubs are, in that post, an example......are we saying this only worked for the Twins, and his leadership wouldn't translate to another team next year? Look, I'm open to the argument, but make a logical argument to me to convince me. If he's worthy of MLB MVP votes, if he's worth some huge number of wins, if he is why they went from awful to relevant, that has real economic value, and we should see teams lined up to sign him for big bucks. Does anyone not agree with that? Does anyone think that will happen?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Which of those young guys was here in May? Buxton, Rosario, Sano? Duffey? I think Danny Santana and Vargas and Arcia were......
  18. Mike Sixel
    We aren't discussing if he had value, we are discussing the belief by the manager and some fans that he is the MVP and they wouldn't be winning w/o him.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I have admitted over and over he might be one of the causes. But to say he's the primary reason (team MVP), and that he somehow helped them develop the number 2 prospect in baseball, and that he added, what, 5+ wins? If anyone in baseball thought that his leadership was worth 5+ wins, and that their superstar prospects would ALL be better players in the future, what would they pay for that? Imagine how valuable it would be to the Cubs if he helped their 4-6 rookie/2nd year players all be worth 1 more win a year.....that is worth, what, 50-60MM dollars, minimum?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Then some rebuilding team should sign him for tens of millions of dollars, right? If he can singlehandedly make the number 2 prospect in baseball into the player he is right now?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'll say it again, if any team really thinks this, Hunter will be signed for something like $30-40MM next year......and we all know that won't happen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    this is one of those rare times we agree on this "hold him back" strategy, Seth.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I can understand that for sure. I love the service, but even I have considered killing it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ah, facts vs. Narratives.......
  25. Mike Sixel
    this is either identical for me, or I move Sano into ROY. Especially the improved part, this is what Escobar did last year, pretty much. What changed is that the Twins brass finally figured that out..... And no way Hunter is more valuable to this roster than Escobar, imo.
